Football: PSG’s disappointment – ​​the result in the CL round of 16 for the second year in a row

Qatari-owned PSG, with some of the world's best and most expensive footballers in the squad, have a dismal record of exiting the CL in eighth place. This has happened four times in the last six seasons and most recently last year.

At the Allianz Arena this evening, it was time again.

Bayern Munich, trailing 1-0 from the first match, had a goal disallowed for offside at the start of the second half after VAR review.

But when Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, ten minutes later, deflected the score for 1-0 against the home team, the referee had nothing to say. The goal came after a strong German press where team captain Thomas Müller twisted the ball.

The match was decided with certainty when Serge Gnabry made it 2-0 in the closing stages of the match. For Bayern Munich, the quarter-finals now await after the draw on March 17.

Goalkeeper error in the first half

At PSG, star Neymar is missing after the serious foot injury he suffered in the league in February. The team's best situation came in the first half after a mistake by Yann Sommer's goalkeeper. The Bayern goalkeeper dribbled himself and created a scoring opportunity for the opponent. But central defender Matthijs de Ligt then stopped on the goal line.

– It was an important rescue. You must always be ready as a defender. Three days ago I did the same thing (in the championship) so twice a week is not bad, de Ligt told C More.

Milan on – zeroed Tottenham

In another area, Milan, where Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not part of the Champions League squad, find themselves in the CL quarter-finals for the first time in eleven years.

The Italian team was 1-0 from the first meeting and the return against Tottenham ended goalless. Dejan Kulusevski played from the start for Tottenham.
